In this study, heavy metals contamination in surface sediments of northwest Persian Gulf
was investigated and a new index was formulated for assessing severity of heavy metal …

Here, we aim to determine the distribution, ecological risk and sources of heavy metals and
metalloids in the surface sediments of the Xiangjiang River, Hunan Province, China. Sixty …

Dissolved trace elements and heavy metals in the Dan River drainage basin, which is the
drinking water source area of South-to-North Water Transfer Project (China), affect large …

Coastal areas of Iran are heavily affected by urbanisation, industrialisation, and maritime
activities. One consequence of this environmental pressure is the contaminants …

The level of heavy metal contamination and ecological risk, as well as the sources of
contamination, of 35 sediments from the Al-Uqair coast, Saudi Arabia, were determined via …

The temporal–spatial changes in the concentration and health risk of eight dissolved heavy
metals in the Yangtze Estuary over a 5-year period were discussed based on large-scale …

In shallow eutrophic lakes, metal remobilization is closely related to the resuspension and
eutrophication. An improved understanding of metal dynamics by biogeochemical …

Taking the surface sediments of rivers near a uranium mine in East China as the research
object, the concentrations of seven metals, including Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Zn, Cd and As, were …

The purpose of the present work was to combine several tools for assessing metal pollution
in marine sediments from Cienfuegos Bay. Fourteen surface sediments collected in 2013 …

This paper assesses the spatial distribution and the trace metal and As contamination in
surface sediments along the Lom River in the abandoned gold mining sites of Bekao …
